I caught these guys complaining about shipping quotes @jrodan -- don't worry, I set 'em straight!!

Yep, echoing the sentiment - really cool remake. Definitely glad they priced it at $40, but loving all the little new things and attention to detail. Looks like VV had fun making this, which is great because I'm having fun playing it. Guess I'm not surprised most people on Reddit are blitzing it and just 100%ing the game as fast as possible. To me, this is golden-era gaming that's just perfect for picking up whenever other modern shit requires way too much attention/energy. So good.

None of the conversation was about anything being "too expensive". If anything -- it was wanting to embrace the "absolute privilege" of media mail by being accurately quoted $7 shipping instead of $20+. Sorry you live in a different country with expensive shipping. I buy records from the UK more often than from the US, so I feel your pain in that regard. If anything, the point was about cognitive dissonance: If I'm buying 4 records, and my total cost is $125 dollars - it makes more sense to me for it to be priced: Record 1: $30 Record 2: $30 Record 3: $30 Record 4: $30 Shipping: $5 Instead of: Record 1: $25 Record 2: $25 Record 3: $25 Record 4: $25 Shipping: $25 That's all anyone was ever saying.

what kind of noise is it? hum, static, other?

this thread is dead now.

Moth will always be amongst the top of my imaginary "favorite songs" list.

Just buy a Merzbow record and call it a day without destroying your needle.

What the fuck is a "noise record" and please never fucking put it on a living turntable again you monster.

Lol you're such a fool.

You got me there. I'm always cranky about inaccurate shipping charges.

Oh fuck off lmao. You think you're taking the stance of "supporting labels and artists" - I guarantee I've given more money to Kranky over the years than many on this board - and would never hesitate to again. The point is as consumers we have a right to know what we are paying for.

Lol this logic is so flawed it's ridiculous. Siphoning extra profit from consumers via misquoting shipping is ridiculous. They should just be honest and price the records at $25 which is STILL BETTER than most other places, and then quote accurate shipping and everyone is thrilled.

chuffed to add another sad boi to the crew. grab a couple more copies and I'll have a whole squad. burial makes for just the best collection pics.

Dead format died for a reason

appreciate it, I'll give it a shot!

I thought so originally, although I've since seen it listed as "Exclusive" some places. It's all good, I'm sure there will be a color repress down the line. It was a 2018 release right? So 3 years at most.

Well Plaid Room Records' stock of The Weeknd went from: Noon: 14 in stock 1:30: 10 in stock 3:30 (store closing): 7 in stock 3:45: sold out before ever being listed online. Guess I'm SoL.

Sunday, August 30th 8:00 AM EST - Remaining stock is made available on bullmoose.com

rough trade and amoeba have both been down since like 12:45.

yeah, i wanted the record but $7 for shipping can fuck right off. Refreshing a few other sites that are still down, if I miss out I miss out - but TTL can fuck off gouging on shipping like that for a single LP.

Thanks Shlebs! I've got 7 tabs for different shops open I'm refreshing as we approach 1pm. Most vids I saw seemed to show 2-3 copies at each shop, so I'm worried.

hate to be that guy, but it's looking like this will be tough to get - looking for The Weeknd - My Dear Melancholy if anyone sees a copy

Yep, same. Solid red/pink.

another thread was made, and it was merged with an existing thread - as per the rules of the forum lol.

buy it direct (link above) instead of from Urban Outfitters and save $7+
